Saudi Arabia must ban discrimination against women: U.N. rights panel

GENEVA (Reuters) – A U.N. rights watchdog called on Saudi Arabia on Monday to end discriminatory practices against women, including its pervasive system of male guardianship, and give them full access to justice.

After reviewing the deeply conservative kingdom’s record, the independent experts welcomed recent decisions to allow women to launch their own businesses and to lift a de facto ban on them driving a car, set for June.

Saudi Arabia is still one of the most restrictive countries for women in the world. It has no women ministers and retains a guardianship system requiring women to have a male relative’s approval for important decisions.

It is obvious that Saudi Arabia women are treated unfair, there is no freedom at all—every thing under control of male. Saudi Arabia clerics still follow the ancient Islamic tradition even there are not the law of God.

Unfortunately most clerics around the world have been deceived by Saudi Arabia’s clerics. What ever come from Saudi Arabia are the true Islamic teaching—
Do women think that if all women wear Black burqa are beautiful?
About 99.00 percent Saudi women wear black burqa and Iran 60 percent women wear black burqa.

Progressive Women reject burqa as Islamic dress code for women. those women who does not wear hijab are considered Progressive women. Islam is a religion not extremist but progressive.

Yes, there should be no compulsion in religion. Anyone who wants to wear black should be permitted to do so, and, yes, anyone who does not want to should be permitted to do so too – within the limits of decency.

Rafiq— Now you got it— I agree with you.
Hopefully Ahmadiyyah clerics or leaders do not promote women to wear burqa or Hijab, let women decide what she want to wear—-
Most clerics say that those women do not wear Hijab will not enter paradise. Often I hear that.
